Agreed, I don't think the views expressed in a couple of flippant posts here were representative. One of the 2 protagonists is an American anyway, but I am sure they were just fishing for a reaction.
There is a growing rejection of the 1970s multicultural ideal as it doesn't really seem to work in practice. Most of the posters here are, by definition of our employment, proud Brits. But that doesn't mean most of us exclude anyone who wants to join and contribute to our country and play the game our way. We're a bastard nation even pre 1066 anyway and good for it.
I have no time for casual racism at all against immigrants to the UK. Who knows, we may get one or two new citizens at some point in the future who can design and build a useful aircraft on time and in budget for us........ Someone out there must be capable, surely.
